Random Ramblings Of A Video Game Blogger : Peripheral Sensitivity

 

I was just playing Tap Tap Revenge 2 on my iPhone (it’s like Guitar Hero without the strumming)and I was gladly jamming away to Gives You Hell by The All American Rejects.I was pretty pleased with myself that I had the maximum multiplying score and so for once I didn’t get in a strop with the game and so I kept on playing. 30 seconds later the smugness quickly faded… Oh no! What  had I done!? It had appeared that in my  relatively cheerful mood, my finger had lightly, and yes I mean lightly, brushed the surface of my phone which had registered it as a “void note! and so had cancelled by maximum points multiplier. I was pretty miffed about this. Not just because I lost my super high points bonus but because it had made me anxious for the future. If touch screen phones are employing this sort of “uber-sensitivity” in their games, who’s to say that publishers and developers of console game won’t adapt to this fashion by making their peripherals and accessories equally as sensitive. It will mean that there will be no room for error. Games like Tony Hawk's Ride that uses a skateboard peripheral will change completely and only actual skateboarders will be able to use the game and the likes of you and me won’t be able to play the game. Mr Hawk himself has even said that the game’s extreme mode will only be accessible to skateboarders or seriously hardcore gamers with a lot of experience with the Ride game. I don’t know about you guys but I sure as heck know that if they start making really sensitive peripherals for games, I sure as heck won’t be buying them.

Random Ramblings Of A Video Game Blogger : 2K Czech’s Mafia 2

Image Courtesy Of Rock Paper Shotgun

 

The other day I was sat in my German class learning the different words for fruits when my Polish friend, who was sat next to me, starts laughing. So, as you do, I asked him what he found so funny about German fruit and he said “in my language that word means penis!”. This very quote got me thinking. Different things can be taken out of context depending on the culture, the language, even the different stereotypes! This same thing also got me very worried about the upcoming title, Mafia 2. The new game is being developed by developer 2K Czech. Now this not might be a bad thing but it’s the fact that perhaps people from the Czech Republic are not the best people to make the game after all how much do Eastern Europeans know about the Mafia besides the knowledge amassed from stereotypes. Don’t call me racist but from what I know from playing the horrendous Godfather games and from watching re-runs of The Simpson’s, most Mafia men are a) Italian b) total thugs and c)great lovers of pasta. Don’t get me wrong when people use a a topic that is heavily laden with stereotypes, they can usually make it their own and change to their own thoughts. For example Twilight’s Edward Cullen (I’m a teenage girl, I’m allowed to use Twilight references) is a vampire, while we typically see vampire’s as those bloodsucking creatures who cannot go out in sunlight and can be killed with a stake through the heart. The author of the Twilight books, Stephenie Meyer decided to make the concept of vampire’s her own and so upon contact with the sun Mr. Cullen merely glimmers like a sweaty fat man and she also made it so that vampires can only be killed by first being ripped to shreds and secondly being burnt to crisp! Hopefully 2K Czech will adapt and expand the usual Mafia stereotypes and make the game something quite blatantly ‘Mafia-like’ while being something we’ve never seen before. Keep checking up on System Fail News for updates on the games progress!

Tekken 6 Wireless Sticks (Hey That Rhyme’s!)

 

While Street Fighter 4 may have been the best fighting game of the year, so far,  there may be a contender that can  ‘reclaim that title’  and it’s name is “Tekken 6”. Anyway, enough of that movie trailer crap and on to the actual headline…

So some cool company called HORI have produced a pretty darn awesome peripheral for Tekken 6 (see image above) and it will act just like arcade machine controls, only it has a couple of added features-

a) it’s wireless!

and

b) it won’t get jammed like the Street Fighter IV fight stick did ;D

 

He he he, I’m looking forward to Tekken 6 because it will make a great post tile

Well, now that there is this screenshot (see above picture) PS3 owners can rejoice that they are getting this marvellous game (if I do say so myself!)

VidZone Hands-On

Hands-On With Vidzone

We love music, we love games and most of all we love being connected.So when it was announced that they were releasing a new music video viewing feature for PS3 my heart literally jumped for joy! Here’s my thoughts on why you should get Vidzone.



1). The best bits



My favourite part of Vidzone is that it is just so simple. This little thing makes it stand out from its competitors in such a way that it leaves YouTube and MegaVideo crying in a corner. While many video streaming services are incredibly difficult to navigate around, Vidzone’s homepage provides links to already made up playlists, all of which feature many of the music videos that are really popular right now. For example one of the playlists there feature the new single from the Black Eyed Peas, Boom Boom Pow. Another thing that made me fall in love with the new service is that it has so much to offer and is bounding with potential. Whilst it doesn’t offer that many music videos at the moment, I am on good authority with an inside source that there ar elenty more to come!

2.) The bad bits


The great thing about Vidzone is that there is absolutely nothing wrong with. Well apart from the fact that there isn’t much content on offer but cut the thing some slack! After all it was only released a few days ago! (And I already like it better than YouTube.) Besides it beats getting Rickrolled. Right?
3.)Overall

VidZone is a superb addition to the PS3’s already astonishing aline up of downloads available fform its PlayStation Store and is definitely a “must-download”. Just a heads up though it’s only available in Europe. Keep reading System Fai,l Newas and I’ll keep you updated for when it makes the crossover to to the U.S.

Although Mafia 2 has been delayed until next year, 2K Games see no reason why they shouldn’t still power the games hype machine. However they have all the right to do so as this trailer suggests that Mafia 2 could be better than this year’s own early gangster themed game, The Godfather 2.
